Damn, thats sweet....I wish I wouldve known about this. I just got done putting in a 700r4 because I didnt want to tackle all of the custom modification it previously took to put a 6 speed in just yet. How much did it end up costing you? Damnit, now IM mad, I wish I wouldve known. :banghead:

 

Actually I see now you say "our" conversion kit....so how much would it cost *me* is the question, lol

 

Here are the other two you had trouble posting.

There ain't nothin on this site (http://www.keislerauto.com/) bout no 6-speed in no Corvette.

 

Yup, I don't see anything about the 6 speed either. What's the price diference between the 5 and 6 speeds?

The cross member requires modification which is detailed in the instructions. A 6"x2" slit needs to be made in the tunnel for clearance along with an opening for the shifter handle. The laser cut steel panel included in the kit covers the modified area.

 

If my 383 has a wide torque curve, why would I select a 6 speed over a 5 speed if the 1st and final gears are approx the same?

 

But the final gear is NOT the same. Really, the 6-speed just gives another OD gear.

IMHO, the 6 speed (T56) is better for 4.10 or deeper gears due to the .5 OD and 2.66 1'st. The 5 speed (Tremec) is better for 3.36 or so gears due to the .68 OD and 3.27 1'st.
